    Default You Know It Just Isn't the Same

    Been a couple of months since Bony departed us. Forum just isn't the same. Miss the whit and the humor, the policing of the comments, the calling of posters on the carpet, scantions and penalties (actually feel honored that I receveid one!), encouraging some evening event and fantastic dinner, all at his initiative. An icon magnet at rallys.

    Guess the days of Legends are gone. Miss the olde days! (two months ago)

    BONY will never be replaced. Or forgotten.

    Gentlemen,

    Daniel deleted about half a dozen of my posts and modified a couple others, he called me on the phone on a couple of occasions to scold me (in a friendly and polite manner) verbally. He must've had everybody's phone number programmed into that blackberry because whenever I called him he answered the phone, "Mr. Beck, how are you today?" I spoke to Daniel about once a month, many Forum members spoke to Daniel a whole lot more than I did. Today, when items arise that prompt me to pick up the phone and call Bony, it's both sad and frustrating as no one else is a suitable substitute. I need to speak to Daniel Bonyhadi and I am stymied.

    With apologies to Lloyd Bentsen.......I knew Daniel Bonyhadi, Daniel Bonyhadi was a friend of mine, and I am no Daniel Bonyhadi.

    He was one of a kind.

    Yep, he is dearly miss in many ways. Bony has also deleted, or modded many of my post and I always appreciated his censorship and told him to feel free to delete, or modify anything that I post without hesitation. I respected and trusted his judgement.

    I've lost two very dear friends this year and both will always be remembered.

    Daniel was one of a kind, once in a lifetime, and I feel most fortunate to have known him.

    With that said, Dave made an incredible choice with Chip as our mod. Chip is first cabin.
